The severe risk is expected to lessen later this evening as convective inhibition strengthens. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 35 statute miles north and south of a line from 65 miles southwest of Enid OK to 5 miles south southeast of Bartlesville OK.

MD 0846 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 260... FOR PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS AND NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0846 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0928 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Areas affected...parts of south central Kansas and north central Oklahoma Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 260... Valid 200228Z - 200430Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 260 continues. SUMMARY...Intensifying thunderstorm development becoming focused near the central into eastern Kansas/Oklahoma state border vicinity may pose an increasing risk for severe hail and wind into the overnight hours. Trends are being monitored for an additional severe weather watch. DISCUSSION...To the east of a surface low over the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle vicinity, area VWP data confirm southerly low-level jet strengthening to 50+ kt is ongoing across northwest Texas toward the Medicine Lodge KS vicinity. An increase in new thunderstorm development is underway near the Kansas/Oklahoma border vicinity to the south of Medicine Lodge, in response to strengthening lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection and lift of seasonably moist air characterized by CAPE up to around 3000 J/kg. As warmer and more strongly capping elevated mixed-layer air continues to advect northeastward across Oklahoma, it appears that an increasingly better-defined mid-level baroclinic zone (roughly around 700 mb) near the central into eastern Kansas/Oklahoma state border vicinity will become the focus for stronger convection into the 05-07Z time frame. This could include another upscale growing and organizing convective cluster, in the presence of seasonably strong shear. ..Kerr.. 05/20/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0845 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 260...262... FOR SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0845 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0815 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Areas affected...southeastern Kansas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 260...262... Valid 200115Z - 200315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 260, 262 continues. SUMMARY...Stronger surface gusts, perhaps occasionally exceeding 70 mph, may be maintained with an evolving cluster of storms northeast and east of Wichita toward the Joplin MO/Bartlesville OK vicinities through 10-11 PM CDT. DISCUSSION...Trailing one still well-defined MCV now migrating eastward along the I-70 corridor near Manhattan, a second MCV is becoming better-defined along intersecting outflow boundaries to the north of Wichita. Associated with this evolution, measured gusts to 75 kt were recorded in Hutchinson at 0039Z. Although inflow into the convective system may become less unstable due to somewhat drier low-level air across much of eastern Kansas/Oklahoma, strong to severe gusts may continue at least another couple of hours to the southwest/south of the evolving southern MCV. ..Kerr.. 05/20/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
